Current Research on the Diagnosis Method of Meniscus Root Injury and its Healing

Currently, meniscus injury has become a common disease among sports and fitness enthusiasts in China, with root meniscus injury accounting for a larger proportion, which damage impairs load distribution throughout the knee joint, reducing the surface area to bear the load and making patients susceptible to early degenerative changes that alter their daily activities. This injury has been ignored for a long time, and in recent years people have begun to pay more attention to it. However, the diagnosis of root meniscus injury is difficult to detect, and the current mainstream method is MRI examination, combined with X-ray and arthroscope examination. However, with people's increasing emphasis on health, some may not accept surgical treatments such as meniscus repair or meniscectomy. Therefore, non-surgical treatments such as drug injection are gradually being used. In this paper, the literature on meniscus root injury in recent years was reviewed, and the anatomy, injury mechanism and intervention of meniscus root were reviewed, so as to further understand the current progress of injury.
